Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2009Goo Gone ?
I am after a bottle of Goo Gone but can only find it on the web ! Do any of the main retailers like B & Q, Focus, Homebase sell it ? Or a Carpet shop ? Thanks Chris > I am after a bottle of Goo Gone but can only find it on the web ! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Chris Goo Gone is a citrus based solvent. Any similar product should work as well. Look fro d-limonene in the ingredients (if they're listed.) cheers, wolf k. >> I am after a bottle of Goo Gone but can only find it on the web ! >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > cheers, wolf k. Copied from askville by Amazon: "My favorite product is Goo-Gone. It works on most anything --- and has a pleasant citrus smell. If you want to make a product at home, try a solution of warm water, liquid dish washing detergent, and vinegar or ammonia. I’d put it on a cloth --- NOT on the book --- and rub it. Otherwise, you’ll saturate the book jacket. I’ve heard others recommend WD-40 and Windex (not together!), though I haven’t tried either. Whatever method you use, first test the cleaning removal material in an inconspicuous part of the surface the label is stuck on the be sure it will not damage that surface. Here’s a handy video as a reminder for how to remove stickers from most any surface: http://www.ehow.com/how_13445_remove-stickers.html Good luck!" Thanks for the advice folks ......... it was suggested I use it with a DAPOL track cleaner my son has got. Used nail polish remover with an old Triang Track Cleaner but not sure if it will attack the plastic on the DAPOL model ? The other alternative suggested is Isopropyl Alcohol ( Rubbing Alcohol ) !

Acetone does dissolve many plastics. > The other alternative suggested is Isopropyl Alcohol ( Rubbing > Alcohol ) ! That's good, if you can find it in the UK. In Canada, we can buy 99% IPA off the open shelf in a pharmacy for about $3 a 500ml bottle.

In the UK I've found that you are more likely to be able to order propan-2-ol (ie isopropyl acohol) from small independent pharmacies rather than from the big chains. The other more readily available source is from town centre "pound shops" (they usually take over empty shops on a cheap short term lease thus preventing vandalism whilst the landlord looks for a more lucrative long term tenant) where it is usually the fluid in 99p packs of DVD or CD cleaner.

It's also easily available from Electronics distributors such as Maplin, Rapid, Farnell, etc. Search for IPA, isopropyl or isopropanol. Some only stock it in aerosol form.
